AT THE EMPEROR’S COMMAND
Multiple races carefully navigate the City of Elantra under the Dragon Emperor’s wing. His Imperial Wolves are executioners, the smallest group to serve in the Halls of Law. The populace calls them assassins.
Every wolf candidate must consent to a full examination by the Tha’alani, one of the most feared and distrusted races in Elantra for their ability to read minds. Most candidates don’t finish their job interviews.
Severn Handred, the newest potential recruit, is determined to face and pass this final test—even if by doing so he’s exposing secrets he has never shared.
When an interrogation uncovers the connections to a two-decade-old series of murders of the Tha’alani, the Wolves are commanded to hunt. Severn’s first job will be joining the chase. From the High Halls to the Tha’alani quarter, from the Oracles to the Emperor, secrets are uncovered, tensions are raised and justice just might be done…if Severn can survive.

Reviews
Amazing on its own
5By ShaegreyThis is the spine to Kaylins Elantra of the Born In series. I am so grateful for The Wolves of Elantra. Please give us more from Severns voice…. We need more of him in our world.Too many jumps and gaps
3By WyndnightI want to love this the books the premise is excellent and unique. Interesting characters but the pace and jumps on the story make it a challenge. When you write such a unique story things need to be explained along the way. Yet here in this story a street kid becomes Sherlock Holmes walking the halls of power….. without context and background and what is an Oracle? Is it a foretelling or a title or both? Whatever it is explain it for us the author assumes knowledge she has not yet provided to readers. So I spent my money will I try the next book yes I will but I will not try any other books till I am confident it will be money well spent.
